What Would Jane Austen Do? | 
#PemberLittens it's your Mid Month Check In for #JaneAustenThenAndNow.
I was trying to think of General Discussion Questions for 'Now' books. And this is the main one. Add Zombies or set in Space as long as it maintains the spirit.
What does bug me is when Author doesn't do their research. Things like I'll just pop down to bookstore and buy a 1st edition of Pride& Prejudice.
What makes or breaks a 'Now' book for you?
pick#Pemberlittens I absolutely adored this book when I was part of last year's Austenprose https://austenprose.com/ Book Tour.
Rereading for #12MonthsofJane I'm doing on Instagram w/ my friend Claire. https://www.instagram.com/p/C1pc0dXL92N/?igsh=ZDI0cnIwaWRuanp0
I has print copy on my Forever Shelf but this time I decided to listen to audiobook. Great narration! Just as delightful on a second read.
pickI got sidetracked by all the new 2024 Readalongs and things that I didn't finish my Best of 2023. In no particular order Top 2-5.
I needed comfort reads and Jane. September and Winter Solstice were like sitting down to tea with old friends.
LOVED What Would Jane Austen Do? ⬇️
pickI thought this was very believable and sweet. I liked the female lead a lot. I also liked the mystery of her searching for info about the unknown family member. The slow reveal of that mystery and the slow build onto the romance was well done. This is a closed door romance. (No shame to spicy readers!) You don't need to be acquainted with Jane's work to understand the story. I really liked this and would definitely read more by this author.
So a week into #SummerEndReadathon and I've finished four books. Not a huge time but I'm impressed so far. Some were started before September. @TheSpineView
pickAww this was such a cute story and a fun quick read. Its a perfect lazing in the garden book. The plot is interesting and a must for any Jane Austen fan. I loved all the quotes at the start of each chapter. The ending was perfect for the book and i love how her story came together. The mystery of Nigel was an interesting addition to the story. Maddie is very likeable but of course she was outshone by Buster who was adorable. #Netgalley 4*
pickIt's so pretty!!! Finding space on my All Things Austen shelves. 💖💕

pickExcited to be part of Virtual Book Tour!
Everything I want when I read Austenesque. Jane Austen quotes at beginning of each chapter, country village setting, & doesn't try to rewrite the original novels.
Perfect w/ nods to Pride & Prejudice, which I think is hardest to modernize. Nobody's going to starve in the hedgerows these days because they didn't get married.
I want on my forever shelf so I've ordered a print copy. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

so-soMaddy, recently fired Agony Aunt, moves into the country manor a distant relative bequeathed her. She initially plans to sell up after the 12 months of obligatory residency are up, but, of course, Maddy falls in love with the small town, the quirky townspeople and her grumpy lodger.

pickGood. Perfect for fans of Jane Austen. Even though this a purely romance story there is a subplot of a family mystery that has you gripped to the very end. Loved the characters as they were so real and enjoyable to read. Thank you #OneMoreChapter/#HarperCollins for inviting me to read this via #NetGalley.
